The efficacy of endovascular therapy in patients with acute ischemic
stroke due to tandem occlusion is comparable to that for isolated intracranial
occlusion in the anterior circulation. Definitive
treatment of carotid dissection-related strokes is currently unproved.
The best endovascular technique in this setting remains to be established, but
emergency carotid artery stenting (CAS) is frequently considered. We
investigated the safety and efficacy of emergency CAS for carotid dissection in
patients with acute stroke in current clinical practice.
